This CD is wonderful. I love almost every song on here, and that's alot to say for an entire album.
I love LeAnn rimes and her music. this was a great album, so glad i got it.
This is probably one of the most important songs I've heard in years. I try to remember this every day.Song Name: What I Cannot ChangeArtist Name: LeAnn RimesAlbum: FamilySongwriter(s): Darrell Brown, Leann RimesRelease Date: October 10, 2007I know what makes me comfortableI know what makes me tickAnd when I need to get my way I know how to pour it on thickCream and sugar in my coffeeRight away when I awakeI face the day and pray to God I won't make the same mistakesOh the rest is out of my handsI will learn to let go what I cannot changeI will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to love what I cannot changeBut I will change, I will changeWhatever I, whenever I canI don't know my father or my mother well enoughIt seems like everytime we talk we cant get past the little stuffThe pain is self-inflicting, I know it's not good for my healthBut it's easier to please the world than it is to please myselfOh the rest is out of my handsI will learn to let go what I cannot changeI will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to love what I cannot changeBut I will change, I will changeWhatever I, whenever I canRight now I can't hear about how everyone else feelsI have enough hurt of my own to healI will learn to let go what I cannot changeI will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to let go what I cannot changeI will learn to forgive what I cannot changeI will learn to love what I cannot changeBut I will change, I will changeWhatever I, whenever I can
There are some duds here but with a 14-track listing and 50% being of decent standard, then it's not bad value for money. The collection itself is not bad with standout tracks being the three collaborations (Nothing Wrong - Mare Broussard, Till We Ain't Strangers - Bon Jovi & When You Love Someone Like That - Reba). Not Bad, but as the school-card says 'MUST DO BETTER'. Family is a very grown-up album from a very accomplished & talented young lady. She shows a maturity here that was lacking on previous albums. Production on this album falls way short of what you would expect from an artist of this calibre and becomes irritating whilst trying to listen to the lyrical content of the songs.
There is a problem on some songs here though. Standouts are FAMILY, ONE DAY TOO LONG and WHAT I CANNOT CHANGE. This is apparent more on this cd than previous ones and she must be careful that it doesn't become stronger as she develops into even more of an adult artist.The cd is not her best but it is certainly very good. This cd is a very important stepping stone in her career. It is a bluesy, major belting ballad done expertly.Enjoy. Both bonus tracks, duets with Bon Jovi and Reba McEntire, are also very effective.
And on ONE DAY TOO LONG, already mentioned, she lets loose more than ever before. Leann Rimes is an amazing talent and has established herself as a force to be reckoned with as a country artist with an immense catalogue of work established at a very young age. She has cowritten many of the songs here and a more mature sound is established.Some songs work better here than others. On NOTHIN BETTER TO DO, FIGHT and DOESN'T EVERYBODY her vocals are strong but her articulation is off and it is difficult to understand the words she is singing.
